I didn't read the whole thread, but in case nobody pointed this out the werewolf morph avoid and the fairy fire avoid do not stack since the werewolf avoid is specific to melee. This is like the difference between cLoD evade and dodge. If you are attacked in melee first the werewolf 50% is checked. If that fails then whatever you have in fairy fire will be checked.

It's what makes it different and stand out to builds like pounce zon/sin and the reason it is way more powerful than those builds in the first place. Removing that mechanic is not something that we are looking to do. The changes coming to this build next patch are two fold:

1) You won't be able to equip jewellery with mana regen post morph and reverse the mana degen. To compensate Mana Pulse will grant significantly more mana compared to before - it will now fill up your entire mana bulb in 2 hits.

2) Werewolf single target has been buffed greatly to enable you to kill bosses better without a respec and Harbinger damage is increased slightly to compensate for the fact that you are not casting it all the time but have to switch to mana pulse every now and then.

Overall these changes are smart. Now the cheese isnt there anymore and this puts wolf druid where it should be as he shouldn't be able to harbinger everything. Buff to harbinger damage is also good since it gives you opportunity to use harbinger and stop to do that 2 hits before continuing.

Overall now that we dont have mana regen anymore we would need quite a bit larger manapool. all items that gives you max mana would come handy. the more mana you have the less you have to stop to mana pulse basically.

Also im rly excited that you should now ne able to farm uber bosses much effectively on Wolf form!! Wohoo!!

This will significantly improve player experience on wolf since you now need to actually play the game to kill monsters. Even mana regen was removed this is buff to wolf druid. you have better time now leveing also since you get life and defense from lifeshield passive from ennead challenge.

New symbiosis passive will bring its own tweek to build we are using. this guide will be updated when i have opportunity and know more how these changes will effect on druid.
